As a casting craftsman, Ye Li naturally knew the material properties and casting common sense.
In addition to the talismans, talismanic tools and talismanic weapons used by talisman masters, kitchen knives, hunting knives, farm tools and other metal tools used by ordinary people all have a quenching step during forging.
It is used to make relatively flexible metals extremely hard.
However, before quenching, the metal temperature will not be burned too high, and cold spring water is rarely used during quenching. Instead, some special oils are used for quenching.
This is to ensure that the temperature difference of the metal does not change too much, because if the temperature difference changes too much, the metal will become brittle and eventually break.
What Ye Li did at this moment was to deliberately do the opposite. He burned the chain to a high temperature far exceeding the quenching temperature, and then used the cold spring water he found in the mountains to water it.
As the temperature changed rapidly, the chain in the elder's hand made a series of "clicking" sounds in an instant.
Ye Li was immediately delighted when he heard these sounds, because this meant that tiny cracks were beginning to appear on the chain.
When the mist dissipated, Ye Li took a look and saw that indeed, fine and deep cracks began to appear on the chain.
With a look of joy on his face, Ye Li immediately picked up his talisman weapon again and chopped it hard at the place where there was a deep break on the chain.
"bite!"
After a crisp sound, the crack on the chain became deeper and it was about to break.
Ye Li then raised the long sword again and chopped it down fiercely.
"clang!"
There was another crisp sound, and this time the chain finally failed to block Ye Li's chop and broke completely.
After the chain broke, the rune formation in the soul-locking shackles was immediately broken, and the soul-locking function of the entire shackles was completely lost.
"Hahaha, that's good now. I want to see what else Xin Ruizi and Hai Hudie can do."
After the soul-locking shackles lost their function, the spiritual energy in the elder's body began to circulate again, his strength returned to normal, and his heart was filled with confidence again.
Ye Li didn't dare to stop his actions. The people outside might come in at any time. They couldn't resist them with just one elder.
After the second elder's chains were placed on the flames and burned, the noise outside finally reached the cave.
The two Huahai Sect disciples who had regained consciousness and were standing at the door were eventually discovered to be abnormal, because a Yuantai period talisman master who came over to search was the one who arranged the guarding of this cave.
So she saw at a glance that the two guards standing at the entrance of the cave were not the ones she had arranged before. Knowing that something was wrong, she subdued the two men at the first time and then rushed into the cave.
The elder who had just recovered his strength turned around and said to everyone, "I will go to the front to stop the incoming people first. Once your strength is restored, come over immediately. I can't stop everyone by myself."
After giving instructions, she ran straight out of the cave.
Ye Li seemed to remember something, and continued to burn the chains while shouting: "Senior, your disciples were all controlled by the other party who changed their memories. They did not betray Huahaimen.
Among all the people, only those two elders have truly joined the other organization, so please do not kill them at will."
When the five old ladies heard Ye Li's words, they were all surprised, but then they showed a hint of joy.
They originally thought that all the disciples in the sect had betrayed their master, so they were filled with anger and sadness. Now that they learned that these people were under control, they felt a lot more relieved.
After thanking Ye Li, the elder quickly opened the door and went to intercept the enemies coming in from outside.
Just when she got close to the cave entrance, she ran into two Yuantai stage disciples who broke in.
When the other party saw the elder escaped, his face suddenly became terrified. He yelled and turned around and ran out.
The gap between the Yuantai period and the Xushen period is extremely large. After entering the Xushen period, the natal talisman will be transformed into the natal deity and be born, and the combat power will increase greatly.
These two talisman masters in the Yuantai stage knew that they were no match for the elders. They didn't even have the courage to resist and could only flee.
However, even if they ran away, they could not outrun the elders behind them. The moment the two of them left the cave, dozens of huge vines as thick as thighs, as black as ink, and as hard as steel bars emerged from the ground and tied the two of them up tightly in an instant.
The vines were covered with sharp thorns, which had already pierced into the bodies of the two men.
The small thorns that pierced into the two men's bodies continuously poured green liquid into their bodies. After they struggled for a few times, they felt their bodies go weak and they fainted.
The people of Huahaimen are good at water and wood spells, and poison and illusion are their specialties.
After hearing Ye Li's words, the elder did not intend to kill the two Yuantai period talisman masters, so he just poisoned them and made them unconscious.
After seeing the abnormal situation here, Xin Ruizi and Hai Hudie's expressions changed drastically, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
“Damn it, the other party’s purpose is to rescue people in the cave, and this is deliberately used to attract our attention.
The five of them should not have all escaped yet, otherwise only one person would have come out.
Stop searching for other people, and join me in attacking Cai Biyuan!"
After Xin Ruizi reacted, he immediately yelled at all the talisman masters in the Yuantai and Yutai stages.
Although the strength of the Yuantai period talisman master and the Yutai period talisman master is a little weaker, but if they work together to attack from behind, they can still barely cause damage to the Xushen period talisman master.
Xin Ruizi's goal was simple, which was to capture the opponent as quickly as possible so that he could rush into the cave and prevent others from escaping.
Although he didn't know who was saving people in the cave, he knew that the other party's strength was definitely not at the Void God Stage, otherwise there would be no need to use such a troublesome method to save people. He could have knocked out everyone here while they were not in the forbidden area.
After all, the highest level of strength here is usually a talisman master at the fetal development stage. A master at the virtual god stage is already powerful enough to eliminate all the rebels here.
The two men led their team and charged towards the cave entrance. Cai Biyuan hurriedly retracted half of her body into the cave, and then began to set up defensive fortifications using the cave as a barrier.
Her goal was to buy time for Ye Li. Once the others could escape one by one, they would not have to fear Xin Ruizi and Hai Hudie at all. With five against two, it would be useless even if other Yuantai and Yutai period talisman masters were added.
The battle here was about to break out, while Ye Li was still struggling to burn the second man's chains. As long as he could make the chains red hot and then pour ice spring water on them, he would be able to use the same trick to destroy the second soul-locking shackles and free the second elder.
